Chapter 12: Standing in the Spotlight (Part 2)
Ginevra Weasley was hot headed, loud and very intelligent allowing her to be witty, it was very rare that she was ever made speechless; this however was no ordinary situation. No this was something most of the male population in the wizarding and possibly muggle world could only dream of.
In front of her stood the most famous witch par Hermione.
Larissa Grey was beautiful, Ginny would be stupid if she didn’t recognise how beautiful she was, even as straight as Ginny was, and even as much as she loved Harry, even Ginny had, had the rare sexual fantasy about her. Now the object of her fantasies was standing in front of her, Ginny was in awe at how amazing she was in person.

Hermione removed herself from the stool that was positioned on the stage; her nerves had all but disappeared as soon as the sound of the acoustic guitar began to play.
This was Larissa Grey’s first ever hit, and the one she had written with Ginny in mind, it was her observations of the budding connection between her and Harry, it seemed fitting to Hermione to tell Ginny who she really was, using the song she had written for her, She knew it was Ginny’s favourite song, Hermione had been ecstatic when she had found this out.
Hermione continued singing the song each word, hitting Ginny with all the feelings she had felt writing it:
Get me with those Green eyes baby,
As the lights go down,
Give me something that’ll haunt me,
When you’re not around,
‘Cause I see sparks fly,
Whenever you smile.
When the song had finished, Hermione smiled revealing Larissa’s pearly white teeth. She wasn’t sure how she was going to go about the next part of her plan in telling Ginny, but if Hermione was honest her plan’s never went right anyway.
Hermione’s smile was met with one from Ginny who was still dumbfounded, Hermione knew that she had to take the bull by the horns and get the train wreck over and done with.
“Hey Gin.” Hermione said, it still amazed her that despite wearing the barrette, it only changed her appearance; Larissa’s voice was still Hermione’s, that had never changed. Even as she had begun to talk she could see the look of confusion spreading over Ginny’s face.
“Mione?” Ginny asked questioningly.
“Hey.” Hermione said again this time waving Larissa’s perfectly manicured hands slightly.
Ginny’s eyes looked bewildered. “Mione! Tell me this is a joke, it is a joke? Isn’t it?” Ginny all but yelled at her.
Hermione shook her head solemnly, she couldn’t work out if her friend was angry, upset of excited, she assumed it would be plausible for all of them to exist in her best friend.
“I don’t understand” Ginny said eventually after a long silence.
“I know this is a lot to take in Gin, but it really is me, I am Larissa Grey. This is what I wanted to tell you, or rather show you. I had to show you, so that you would believe me. I mean who would actually believe I was Larissa Grey?” Hermione said justly.
“But you don’t look like Hermione” Ginny said finally after scrutinizing Larissa’s form.
Hermione sighed “I’m wearing a Barrette it had a built in glamour, that projects the image I want, it will always be Larissa’s form, but I get to decide subconsciously what she’s wearing and how she is styled” Hermione replied.
She fiddled with the barrette that she could feel just behind her ear. Although it was invisible to anyone else Hermione knew it was there. She finally clasped the barrette and began to pull it out of her golden brown curls, as soon as the barrette was removed, Hermione Jean Granger was revealed, stood before Ginny in her jeans, t-shirt and slinky cardigan.
“OMG!!! IT REALLY IS YOU!!” Ginny exclaimed throwing herself in to Hermione’s arms.
Hermione giggled “Yeah Gin, it’s me.”
Ginny hugged Hermione, her head resting on Hermione’s shoulders.
Hermione transfigured the arm chair Ginny had been sat in, into a sofa, she then led Ginny over to it and began to explain to her how she had ended up where she was now including her encounter with Draco the previous night.
“Wow” Ginny said when Hermione was finished explaining everything that had occurred. Hermione smiled “Do you think he knows?” Ginny asked. Hermione frowned “I don’t know, I think I need to talk to him and find out how much he knows” she said. Ginny nodded.
“Can I ask one more question?” Ginny asked. Hermione could tell her friend had accepted the revelation, she was more supportive than Hermione could have hoped for.
“Sure, Ginny.” She said with a smile.
Ginny laughed “Well you said that you write all the songs, Larissa, I mean you sing, right?” Hermione nodded. “Well I was just wondering, the song you just sung, it mention’s green eyes and I can’t help but think it’s written about Harry. I suppose what I was wondering is if you like Harry, I mean like like Harry.” Hermione could have laughed if it wasn’t for the vulnerability in her friend’s voice.
“Gin, I like Harry, but only as a friend, you know I love Ron, but even that’s not supposed to be, look how complicated things have just gotten for me. But yes the song is a little about Harry.” Ginny exhaled a small gasp, and Hermione was quick to grab her hand in an act of reassurance.
“Ginny, the song is about you and Harry, it was how I saw the two of you when you first started dating, it was beautiful just to watch you both, especially how you would light up whenever he smiled at you.”
Hermione raised her eyes to look at Ginny and was touched to see a lone single tear running down Ginny’s pale skin.
“Mione, that’s so beautiful, it’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.” She stifled a sob threatening to escape her throat. Hermione squeezed her hand, which in turn pushed Ginny over the edge and she began to violently cry.
Hermione was taken aback by this, she had never seen Ginny cry, she was always the strong one of the two.
“Ginny? What’s wrong?” Hermione asked concerned for her friend.
Ginny wiped viciously at the tears that cascaded from her blue eyes. She shook her head and let out a gasp of air.
“Me and Harry… Fighting… All the time… Never have time… Don’t think it’s working… Not as happy anymore” Ginny choked out amongst sobs. Hermione pulled her into a hug and rocked her back and forth until Ginny’s crying ceased.
The two girl sat together in peaceful silence until Ginny pulled away from Hermione’s embrace. She rubbed her eyes and gave a small weak smile.
“Thanks, Mione.” She said.
Hermione nodded “What are you going to do?” she asked fearing she already knew the answer.
“The only thing I can do, Harry and I will be better as friends, I’ll just bounce back like I always do.” She said.
The girls slipped back into the silence as Ginny regained her composure, soon enough she broke the silence the bubbly girl replacing the vulnerable one.
“Right, no more pity party okay!” she smiled. Hermione nodded.
“Right I have one more confession for you” she told Hermione.
“When you ran to your room, the boys and I came up with a plan. You know what gossip is like in this place, so to save the problems and rumours that come from stupid Chinese whispers, you’re going to cause a scene.” Hermione recoiled at this; Ginny’s eyes were sparkling with mischief. This wasn’t going to be good.
“It’s for your own good, Mione. At least this way, everyone finds out at once, it’ll make it easier for the three of you what with the dates and that. So here is what is going to happen. In the morning you and I are going to meet Draco and Blaise.”
Hermione shuddered at whatever Ginny had planned.
“We’ll walk to the great hall, and that’s when you three will make you entrance, I’ll go in first, then you’ll follow with both Blaise and Draco holding your hands.” Ginny bounced with excitement, all Hermione felt was dread. Ginny continued.
“Ooh, I wonder if we could persuade them to kiss you on the cheek for effect, god that would be amazing! Shouldn’t be too hard to twist their arms” she pondered.
Hermione felt sick, she knew this was happening it didn’t stop her wishing that it wasn’t.
She knew she had no choice in this as awful as it was, Ginny was right everyone would know soon enough at least this way everyone would find out at the same time.
Hermione was pulled out of her thoughts by Ginny’s final exclamation.
“OMG Can you imagine Ron’s face!!”
Hermione closed her eyes in defeat, she was going to be seen as such a hussy, and this wasn’t what she had planned.
However the dark side of her surfaced when Ginny uttered those words, a small smile crossed Hermione’s lips, what would Ron’s face be like? That thought in itself gave Hermione the incentive to do it.
She’d be damned if she was going to remain a doormat for the rest of her life, so it was here that Hermione finally relished the opportunity to take the spotlight for at least once in her life.
